QuietBookCut

QuietBookCut turns a PDF, scan or photo of a pattern into a cut file for Cricut, Silhouette, ScanNCut, Sure Cuts A Lot or a laser cutter. It started as a tool for my sister, who makes felt quiet books and was tracing pattern pieces by hand. The tool decreased a 2 to 4 day manual craft prep process (depending on complexity) down to 10 minutes (approx). What it does: - Core converter: reads hand-drawn line art plus handwritten notes like "hippo body – pink felt" and traces every piece at real size. Downloads come as SVG, DXF or printable templates, grouped by colour, page or pattern. - Self-check: pieces it can't colour confidently are flagged instead of guessed, and you can fix them in the browser editor without re-uploading. - Other tools: - Papercraft to Cricut - Image to SVG (with a dark-shirt option) - Knock Out Layers - Sticker sheet maker (Print Then Cut) - Line art to vinyl - Pattern Decoder - Fix SVG size, plus a new free SVG checker at /fix-svg - Quiet book designer: describe a shape in words and get a felt piece ready to cut. Includes peek-through windows, double-layer pieces, story ideas and a materials list. Designing is free; you pay when you download. - Android app (Flutter): photograph pattern pages, follow the job, preview the pieces as felt, download. Works without an account to start. iPhone is "coming soon" (Codemagic config exists). I had identified multiple 'pain points' that all craft makers seem to have. I am solving their problems to make the process of doing their craft a little more pleasurable.
